    Wait, is that what the controversy is all about? They just updated the character with the new actor?

    I thought it was more about them putting Vader as redeemable.

      Vader was always there, it was just a matter of him being changed from the original actor to Hayden Christensen because he was more recognizable.

      But in context, it doesn’t seem to make much sense. Why does Darth Vader age down, while Obi Wan is still Alec Guinness instead of Ewan McGregor? If it’s supposed to be reflective of the last time he was “good”, why isn’t it him at the moment he decided to save his son and kill the Emperor?

      The internet. Star Wars fans. Millennials.

      Pick one.

          By my grandfather’s Betamax, Star Wars (IV) does not contain a scene with Jabba the Hutt, and there’s no extra ring when the Death Star explodes, plus all the other nonsense additions.

          As a kid in the 80’s I watched the trilogy on tapes recorded OTA, and got annoyed when the fouled DVD releases started showing up.

          My brother. Millennials were literally responsible for ruining Jake Lloyd’s life. Those entitled cunts have a lot to answered for.l
